Speaker's Ruling
Before I ask the Clerk to give the orders of the day, I have a ruling with regard to a point of order made on May 21, 1996, by Mr. Krutko. On May 21st during oral question period, this debate is contained on pages 1185 to 1188 of unedited Hansard. The Member for Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Krutko, was in the process of asking an oral question to the Minister of Justice on funding for the Beaufort/Delta legal services clinic. The Member for Mackenzie Delta had asked his initial question and had completed one supplementary question. On being recognized for a second supplementary question, the Member, Mr. Krutko, in the Chair's opinion, made a statement and there was no question contained therein.
The Chair indicated, and I quote from page 1187 of unedited Hansard: 'Thank you. There was no question there." The chair then went on to remind Members about their preambles to supplementary questions.
The Member for Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Krutko, then raised a point of order and, once again, I quote from page 1187 of unedited Hansard: "Mr. Krutko: I think there was a question." At that time, I indicated to the Member that he could ask a question to the Minister, but what I had heard was a statement. At the conclusion of the Member's questioning of the Minister of Justice, I reminded Members that questioning a ruling of the Chair is not allowed and that I would review the Hansard to see whether the Member did challenge the Chair. I have reviewed the unedited Hansard and find that indeed the Member did not pose a question and that my ruling that he had made a statement was correct. The Member, by raising a point of order, did challenge the chair.

I have further considered the matter and can understand the Member's misunderstanding of whether he did ask a question or not and will not ask the Member to apologize.
I feel, however, that lengthy preambles to oral questions and supplementary questions are the reason that Members forget to ask a question...

... and illustrates why we do not allow preambles to supplementary questions. I thank you for your attention. Mr. Clerk, item 22, orders of the day.
